News Splash Mountain January 2018 refurbishment

[Brer Oswald]

Isn't Blue Bird's head supposed to turn?

I think so. For some reason, I’m convinced it’s a different animatronic...or at least the old one with heavy alterations made to it.

Mr. Bluebird's on my expectations!

I wish there was more merchandise with the various Brer characters.

I have a cool Brer Frog plush from a 1993 trip.

Yeah, I would have been devastated as a kid if I couldn't have gotten a Brer Rabbit plush. Now the gift shop is filled with Thumper plush toys because they hope guests will be too stupid to not tell the difference.

Was in there today. There was one small section of Thumper maybe 10. Then maybe I'd say at max 100 shirts total in maybe a few designs. I walked in and thought ummm... "going out of business" would be appropriate to the amount of merchandise in the after ride gift shop. There was more dead space then you can imagine.

Four trips to WDW in my life, only once was Splash built and open. Not complaining though-when Splash is in a refurb, the bathrooms are one of the quietest you will find in MK, all tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main Frontierland crowd.

Good job finding the silver lining on that one!

If I went to WDW and Splash was open, I’d feel like I was in an alternate dimension or something lol. But I can’t say enough about those washrooms- if you like peace and quiet when you gotta sit and do your business, that’s the spot when Splash is down for maintenance. Not gonna get that calm atmosphere in the Tangled bathrooms, for example.

I got some video.

Well, hallelujah! Nice to see him back!

You have to make your own.

After all the refurbs that have been done on this attraction it still is not how it once was. Watched a video from 1997 and everything was loud and seemed full of life. The mist on the final drop was even working. Do we think we will ever see this splash mountain again?
